[Eliot-dev] [Windows build] Compilation failure

[Julien Catalano]

Hello,

I am trying to build eliot (latest CVS snapshot) for Windows using the INSTALL 
instructions. Unfortunately it fails on several steps.

In reply to this email is a series of patches to fix the problems I 
encountered. The patches are documented there, and target the extras/contrib 
build. But this is not suffissant.

First, the gettext patch for win32 is not available on koders.com (or, the page 
redirect infinitely), but I doubt this is the problem.

When building eliot itself, it fails when linking the object files to produce
eliottxt.exe. Below is the full linker log. It seems that there are some issues 
with libarabica, but I can't say more.

Could anyone help?
